tbh here ED your up against a hard one, i've rawed and lacqured a few frames in the past

and all fell foul the the rust creeping through, it just happens mate, it's only the frames that

are lacqured straight from manufactures seem to last longer but even those frames once chipped

start the old rusting, i recently just sprayed your brothers frame that was originally raw and fook me

it was in a bad state, real deep rust laying on the frame ???

ED209:
Alright Dan - hes my brother-in-law  :angel: he told me it had been 'professionally rusted'  8)

I'll give it a coat of laquer and see what happens  :daumenhoch:

brettypeeps:
If you get the drop out Zinc plated it will act as a Sacrifical material an prevent the frame from corroding as the Zinc will corrode well before the frame  don't lacquer the Zinc bits.  I know it is not normal, but a warm frame spayed is less lightly to corrode.

ED209:
can you come and spray it zinc in your druid outfit Brett...

and as far as scraficial materials work is goat any good  :LolLolLolLol:  :daumenhoch:

ED209:
cheers Glen

I went and built it bare but I'm gonna strip it down and give it a few coats as you suggest.

Cheers  :daumenhoch:
